Bunnies!!!!
While we were in Prescott on our vacation, we stopped by my Uncle Danny's house. He lives on a horse stable, where there are horses,bunnies, chickens and all sorts of other fun things.
While we were there Arlo fell in love with the bunnies. He kept asking for one, but I kept telling him no. But each time he asked me, I got thinking more and more... Tim has wanted to get chickens for the longest time. I hate chickens, I do not want anything to do with them, but Tim still decided to go out and buy all the material he need to make a chicken coop for our future chickens. And if I let Arlo get a bunny, we could have bunnies instead of chickens... I finally decided to go ahead and let Arlo pick out a bunny. He decided on a white baby bunny with red eyes. When we asked him what he wanted to name it he decided on egg. I thought it was a good idea but asked him if instead of egg we could call him Eggbert, and he liked it so, we put Eggbert in a box in the car and were getting ready to go. Then, somehow between Danny and my 3 boys I was convinced that we could not take home just one bunny, we had to get it a friend. So Tim went back into the bunny cage and got out a little black bunny. This was to be Cohen's bunny. Since Cohen is to small to name a bunny Tim and I went to work on a name. Since Eggbert was white and the other bunny was black I decided to name it something the color of black with bert behind it. Tim thought of coal, and so we named it Coalbert.

Here is Tim using his chicken coop material to build the bunnies a hut.
Here is the finished result. He did a wonderful job!
SO...... Eggbert and Coalbert are now a part of the family. I actually have really enjoyed them. But, and it is a BIG BUT, the kids are still a little small for such little pets.
Eggbert is a get away artist, he does not really like the kids, if they get close, he runs away... fast! It used to be a pain to get him in the cage at night, but I have learned to use food to get him in. Coalbert on the other hand is a sweetie! But he wants to be loved so when the kids get close he stays hoping to get scratched and loved. The problem with having 5 little kids around bunnies is that they don't understand that love can hurt and as a result...
Coalbert has a damaged ear, a gift from Cohen who picked him up by that ear.
Limp ear and all, I like our new family members. Let's just hope that they are both girls or both boys because I only want these 2!
